Default Huh? You might want to repost after you've actually driven a 4.2 .

Torque is right there, right now, all the way through the tach.

Default Placing the Tip in Sport mode gets rid of most of the transmission hesitation, leaving very little

turbo lag.

Default There isn't any - max torque kicks in lower than any other Audi engine.

Correct me if I'm wrong here people - about engine torque that is. I know the RS6 is 100 RPM after or so.

Default I think that's the tip Steve. When I keep it in the power band, or even accelerate of a stop

I notice no lag at all. I will say that it is easy to get caught in the wrong gear coming out of a tight turn, which will lead to lag.

Default Re: Turbo lag with 2.7?

Gang, I had a 2000 2.7 and recently traded for a 2002 4.2. There is significant turbo lag in the 2.7 tiptronic that doesn't exist in the 6 speed. If you can't write the check for the 4.2, aka, no turbo lag, get the 6 speed.
